Listentoyourheart Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I’m really surprised at the smash this is turning out to be, because the song itself is so non-descript. Good for ha, tho Link to post Share on other sites

Arthritis Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) I think the reason I'm annoyed by this song/getting over it already is because anytime I put a playlist that it's featured in on shuffle, it plays like 3 times more than any of the other songs Good on her, though. I guess. Edited January 12 by Arthritis Link to post Share on other sites

I agree that they had different trajectories, but I want to add: Billie built her fanbase over the years, not only in one year. She already had +11m followers on IG and +2.5B streams on Spotify before her first top 20 hit (Bury a Friend). Olivia had like 1m on IG before Drivers License and like 300m on Spotify. Billie's breakthrough was already expected cause her EP was a huge success (users here predicted this after Lovely/Bury a Friend, but people laughed). No one expected Olivia at all. Her biggest song on Spotify has 189m streams. Billie had multiple songs with over 200m by 2018. Link to post Share on other sites
